St Mary’s has a growing vision of being an eco-friendly church. We want to be a community that cares for God’s creation – both corporately and individually through conscious lifestyle choices.

We have signed up to A Rocha’s Eco Church Programme in 2022 and are currently holder of the Bronze Award. (Watch this space for progress!) We have an enthusiastic Eco-Team, working on the vision and making it a reality.
We worship God the Creator and honour Him by being careful stewards of His handiwork and enjoying it gratefully.
‘He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind, and who reveals his thoughts to mankind, who turns dawn to darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth – the Lord God Almighty is his name.’ (Amos 4:13)
